Critical End!

As usual, I arrived a bit early for Super 8 (thoughts coming tomorrow!) this past weekend, and took some time to walk around the lobby to check out all of the new posters.  I saw a few of my old friends, and also stumbled across one of the busiest posters I’ve seen in a while.  Let’s take a look, but be warned: you may want to scroll slowly.  If you try to take this in all at once, there is a slight chance of blowing your mind all over the keyboard.

Where to start?  It appears that the studio had well over four hundred production photos and they wanted to use every fucking one of them.  Besides the goofy hair, the only thing of even remote interest on this poster is a sword fight with fire on the bottom right.  Heck, they could have at least given Milla a bust line or something.

Is it weird that when I finally got around to watching the trailer to Paul W.S. Anderson’s The Three Musketeers I fully expected to see both Mila Jovovich flying through the air and zombies?  Needless to say, the trailer delivered on one of these things (I still secretly hope the ResEvil zombies will show up in the final act). 

The weird thing is, this doesn’t look half bad.  Sure, it does have flying ships, ninjas, and Orlando Bloom, so granted, it doesn’t look half good either, but we seem to have all of the makings of a great guilty pleasure.

Thoughts?
